ANNOUNCING THE IMPLANTABLE PUMP FOR DELIVERY OF REMODULIN®

Our company has been dedicated to the treatment of PAH since it was founded in 1996 by the parents of a child diagnosed with PAH. We received FDA approval in July 2018 for the Implantable System for Remodulin® (ISR). The approval of this implantable pump has been something that patients using Remodulin have long awaited.

The FDA approval is the first step in making the pump available to patients. There are multiple steps to make sure that doctors and patients have all the necessary information and resources for implantations. We anticipate that the first patients will undergo the ISR procedure in the beginning of 2019 and then additional procedures will be at PAH centers where the clinical studies were conducted. Initially, there will be a limited supply of pumps available and we plan to begin a broader expansion of the program in the latter part of 2019.

Remodulin® (treprostinil) Injection

What is Remodulin?

Remodulin is a prescription medication used to treat adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH; WHO Group 1), which is high blood pressure in the arteries of your lungs. Remodulin can reduce symptoms associated with exercise. Remodulin was studied mainly in patients with NYHA Functional Class II-IV symptoms. It is not known if Remodulin is safe and effective in children.

In people with PAH who need to switch from epoprostenol, Remodulin is approved to slow the worsening of symptoms.

Important Safety Information for Remodulin

Before you take Remodulin, tell your healthcare provider if you:

Have other medical conditions or take other medicines that may affect your use of Remodulin by increasing the risk of side effects or decreasing the drug’s effectiveness.

Have liver or kidney problems. Your Remodulin dose may need to be adjusted if you have liver problems.

Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant. It is not known if Remodulin will harm your unborn baby or if Remodulin passes into your breast milk.

What are the serious side effects of Remodulin?

Continuous intravenous (IV) infusions of Remodulin delivered using an external infusion pump, with a tube placed in a central vein within the chest, are associated with the risk of blood stream infections and sepsis, which may be fatal. Therefore, continuous subcutaneous (SC) infusion delivered just beneath the skin is the preferred type of delivery.

Low blood pressure (symptomatic hypotension). If you have low blood pressure or are taking drugs that lower your blood pressure, the risk of low blood pressure is increased.

Bleeding problems. Remodulin may increase the risk of bleeding in people who take blood thinners (anticoagulants).

What are the possible side effects of Remodulin?

In clinical studies of SC infusion of Remodulin, most people experienced infusion site pain and infusion site reaction (redness, swelling, and rash). These symptoms were sometimes severe and sometimes required treatment with narcotics or discontinuation of Remodulin.

IV infusion of Remodulin delivered through an external pump has been associated with the risk of blood stream infections, arm swelling, tingling sensations, bruising, and pain.

The most common side effects seen with either SC or IV Remodulin were headache, diarrhea, nausea, rash, jaw pain, widening of the blood vessels (vasodilatation), and swelling from fluid retention (edema). These are not all the possible side effects of Remodulin. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.
